Marketed explicitly as a danmei/Boys' Love novel with genres listing LGBTQ+/Gay romance, the story follows their developing bond across lives and deaths as the primary emotional driver, with the narrative arc centered on their mutual desire and partnership. This makes the queer romance not incidental but the core structural element, subordinating the fantasy world-building and action to the progression of the male-male relationship. The author's body of work in the danmei genre focuses on male-male relationships navigating cultural constraints, confirming creator intent to foreground such themes as the main appeal.

This deliberate centering functions as a progressive intrusion that overrides traditional xianxia priorities, turning the entire volume into a vehicle for the romance rather than balanced storytelling. The result compromises entertainment value for audiences seeking unencumbered fantasy, as the ideological focus on the gay partnership dictates plot, marketing, and genre classification from the outset.
